Technical Note: MTU size and Jumbo frames support on FortiGate devices

Description
This article summarizes MTU sizes and jumbo frame support on FortiGate devices.

Jumbo frames are packets that are larger than the standard 1500 maximum transmission unit (MTU) size. Common maximum sizes for jumbo frames include 9000 and 16110 bytes. Jumbo frames increase data transfer speeds by carrying more data per frame, reducing the overhead from headers. All routes that carry jumbo frames must have network devices that all support jumbo frames. Otherwise, the frames will be dropped.

Starting with FortiOS 3.0 MR2, the Fast-Ethernet (100Mbit) and Gigabit-Ethernet (1000Mbit) interfaces of the FortiGate models 300A and upper support jumbo frames with the following details.

Driver, interface, or module name	Jumbo Frame support	Maximum MTU and FortiGate model examples
FA2/NP1	No	5001FA2 (port 1 and 2), 5005FA2 (ports 7 and 8), 1000AFA2 (port A1 and A2), 3600A (port 9 and 10), 3810A (port 9 and 10).
NP2 based interfaces	Yes, since FortiOS v4.0 MR1	8982 bytes on models 310B, 620B, ADM-FB8, ASM-FB4, RTM-XB2, modules.
TG3 based interfaces	Platform dependent	1500 bytes on models 620B, 110C, 111C. 9000 bytes on other platforms with tg3.
e1000 interfaces	Yes	9126 bytes on models 310B, 310B-DC, 5005, 5001A, 5005FA2. 16110 bytes on all other models.
NP4 based interfaces	Yes	9216 bytes - ADM-XD4 / RTM-XD2.
ADM-XE2 and ASM-CE4	Yes	9216 bytes.
FortiController-5208 interfaces	Yes	8900 bytes.
FortiController-5103B, FortiController-5903C, FortiController-5913C interfaces	Yes	9000 bytes.
5003A	Yes	16379 bytes on all interfaces except the Management port (1500 bytes).

Solution
How to identify the interface or the driver name

The driver name of an interface can be found with the following CLI command:
